CVE-2026-78601— Missing Authorization in Kibana Leading to Unauthorized Elasticsearch Index Data Exposure

Quick assessment

Affected
Elastic Kibana
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Kibana 中存在缺失授权检查（CWE-862），可能导致通过权限滥用（CAPEC-122）造成信息泄露。具体而言，在 Kibana 实体存储（Entity Store）的配置操作中，未应用相应的授权控制，使得拥有提升权限的已认证用户可以间接触发一个后台任务，从该用户本无权限访问的 Elasticsearch 索引中读取数据，而这些索引中衍生出的实体数据随后通过实体存储的输出暴露出来。

Vulnerability Title
Missing Authorization in Kibana Leading to Unauthorized Elasticsearch Index Data Exposure
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to information disclosure via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). An authorization control was not applied to a Kibana Entity Store configuration operation, allowing an authenticated user with elevated Kibana privileges to indirectly cause a background task to read from Elasticsearch indices that user is not authorized to access. Derived entity data from those indices is then exposed through the entity store output.
